Cynthia G. | Postpartum Doula in Temple, TX

Doula Kaiewe

    Practice overview

    Hi, I'm Cynthia and a Certified Holistic Doula providing support during Moms postpartum period. I believe it's during this time where mom's biggest shifts are and through my training and experience, I understand the changes in her body, and believe by meeting mom's nutritional needs are what best to help with postpartum recovery and future wellness. Currently, I'm enrolled in a Postpartum Nutrition certification to best support this as an option. I'm also available to help do the things she may not have time or energy for, like light housekeeping and organizing. Breastfeeding support is available if you choose it as an option.
    I provide Night Nanny services so parents can get the sleep they need to function properly through the day. In this, I've certified as Newborn Care Specialist.

    During the quarantine, I provided support virtually and decided to keep this option if you choose. In general, after our initial meeting, questions/communication can be made through text and cell.

    Care philosophy

    Childbirth is a transformative experience- an expanded perspective of a woman’s body, mind and soul- in the birthing process!

      Cynthia is one of the most dedicated to not only the physical well being but the emotional and spiritual well being of a family as well. She is always learning, always eager to improve and has more compassion and grace than most people I have ever known. Anyone who works with her is lucky to have found someone who truly understands the depth of the work we do.

      Cynthia is not only capable and knowledgeable, she is ethical, takes her work with new parents seriously and is an asset to anyone who needs help during their pregnancy, birth and postpartum period. She is worth every penny she charges and then some. Anyone who hires her should consider themselves lucky to have her brilliance and light around them.

      Cynthia was an incredible assest to my daughter and I from day one of her pregnancy! The information she provided throughout was invaluable. Although I had experienced a high risk pregnancy 28 years earlier, I was at a loss when my daughter started experiencing symptoms of what was later diagnosed as cholestasis. The calm and comfort she provided helped both of us stay focused.After my grandson was born, she helped us recognize postpartum symptoms which allowed my daughter the ability to heal in a supportive environment! I don’t know what we would have done without her and I will forever be grateful!
